THE INFERNO
Written by Pete Cooke
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (Spectrum Version)
Note
Virgil is an awkward character and if he will not follow you or respond to a WAIT command then you
must tell him to move, ie. VIRGIL WEST or VIRGIL NORTH. Keep checking that he is with you as
without him you cannot finish the game.
